ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the control of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado
National Forest, Tucson, AZ, and in the
possession of the Arizona State
Museum, University of Arizona,
Tucson, AZ. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from Pima County, AZ.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Arizona State
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Ak Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona.
In 1983, human remains representing
a minimum of 20 individuals were
removed from the Pima Canyon Site,
Pima County, AZ, during legally
authorized excavations by the Coronado
National Forest. The human remains
have remained in the possession of the
Arizona State Museum since their
excavation. No known individuals were
identified. The 229 associated funerary
objects are pottery sherds, chipped

stone tools and flakes. The associated
funerary objects have remained in the
possession of the Coronado National
Forest since their excavation.
Based on material culture and site
components, the Pima Canyon Site is a
multi-component site with multiple
occupations from the Archaic Period
(approximately 2,000 years ago) through
the early and middle Hohokam Periods
(approximately A.D. 500–1150) to the
Historic Period (approximately A.D.
1700 to early 1900s). Because the
human remains are Native American
and because they are most likely from
the Historic Period, the human remains
from this site are most likely to be of
O’odham ancestry. The oral traditions of
the Ak Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona, support the
cultural affiliation of these four Indian
tribes with historic O’odham sites in
this area of southeastern Arizona.
Officials of the Arizona State
Museum, University of Arizona and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, Coronado National Forest have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of 20 individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, Coronado National Forest have
also determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 229 objects
described above are reasonably believed
to have been placed with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony. Lastly, officials of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (2), there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects and the Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and/
or associated funerary objects should
